Jeffrey Scott:

--- Quote ---Supposebly there were some issues in Fiji around what would have been the family challenge... I think that is why they got letters from home--- End quote ---

Any additional info on this?

puddin:
We have been told that loved ones and/or family members were not on location in Fiji, only the second time in Survivor history that this has occurred.

The Survivor Africa players participated in a loved ones challenge via satellite, but the loved ones never made it to Kenya.

Travel plans for the Survivor Fiji loved ones were likely scrapped when Fiji found itself under a political storm during the scheduled production. The original deadline for the resignation for Prime Minister Qarase coincided, most likely, with what would have been the travel dates for family members and/or friends. The coup followed a few days after that, just as Survivor was filming its last episode.
